2023/24 Dominic Calvert-Lewin

[MACCA75]

But if he never wins headers how is he in the 91st percentile for aerial duels won. Do the math.

I also never said he was a greater passer?

I also never said he never wins headers.. just adding context to your stat.

Not a great passer or shooter is he.

I know you never, but the original poster I was talking to did, and you decided to join in for some reason.

I did yeah. It being a public football forum like.

Useless.

Play Beto and tell him to get in the box never mind running channels.

I sympathise. Unfortunately the reality is that he’d be wasting his time waiting for a ball to be played into the box.

 

[Clarky cat]

Probably doing the night feeds and sleep duties this week. Could barely keep his eye open today.
Easily our best footballing option to play as a lone striker, yet people are still questioning it? Perhaps now is the time to take him out of the starting line up for the cup game and get him on as sub and running at tired legs with 25mins to go to get his confidence back. He needs to improve like a few others and today’s miss was poor. Whatever you think he’s our best option for how Dyche wants to play in the league

Even Darwin Carroll would have buried that chance today…. With ease

It was a very presentable chance, but it wasnt 6 yards out open goal, the keeper has made a good save, but I expect him to finish those and it wasnt a great finish.

I always assumed that Sean Dyche has wanted to put DCL in the transfer window, but now everyone can see exactly what he is. I also think that if we do go down, Sean will lose his job straightaway just because of DCL.

Yeah and not the other questionable selections/choices, solely cuz of DCL, makes sense.

How can we also include DCL's fashion sense in this argument is the big question?

 

[Mrbluenose]

His primary function is to score goals for the team.

As our sole striker every week he fails at that task.

If he is good at other stuff is irrelevant as a result.

 

[chicoazul]

He’s dead out of form and needs some bench time to regain it. Problem is Beto isn’t showing anything better now either.

Can't believe Dyche took him off before all of the handbags were out after the Tarkowski tackle.

Yeah, the guy can't score goals but certainly he can contribute handbags.

 

[Daveysgingerlovechild]

I think he needs a spell of R&R, perhaps some time out doing risqué or boundary blurring modelling shoots, to refresh him and re-endear himself to the Blue faithful.

 

[Lobworm]

What's his goals per game ratio, 1 goal in 4 or 5, or thereabouts? That's pretty much the sort of striker you would expect for a team hovering around the bottom 6 for several seasons. If he was 1 goal in 2 or 3 games, he'd have already been sold.
